EDITOR: The Lunatic State of the Jewish State
Haim Bresheeth
June 2, 2010
In Israel, as well as abroad, the full lunacy and vileness of
this latest Israeli war crime is becoming clear to all who can read.
Israeli propaganda has worked overtime, based on the kidnapping of
the activists, isolating them from the whole world, confiscating all
their material evidence, on top of the brutalities of maiming and
murdering many of them. This meant that for the last few days, only
the the voice of Israeli propaganda was available to the
international media. Fictional narratives, more complex than most
Hollywood scripts, were woven and reinforced by what must be the
largest propaganda machine anywhere.
Of course, this matter little now. The facts are now coming out,
and many inquiries will be conducted and will establish the full
horror of this murderous piracy. The world will not be fooled by
this anymore. In Israel, however, the public, and the elites are
fully behind this latest crime, as they always were behind the ones
committed before. They no longer matter, of course. Anyone waiting
for internal transformation must be seriously delusional; there
shall be no such change ever – the change will come from outside,
from the outraged millions, who watch disbelievingly as their own
governments, yet again, do nothing to stop mayhem, murder and
lawlessness by the Israeli regime. It is interesting to note that
the public support of the Israelis for the war crimes committed in
their names everywhere – in Beirut, in Gaza, in the rest of
Palestine, in Dubai, and now on the high seas, not for the first
time – is much higher than that enjoyed by the apartheid regime in
its heyday! Israel is a Jewish military democracy, for Jews only,
and as such, all its Jewish citizens are responsible for what is
done in their name, unless they act against the crimes. Because of
this continued unstinting support, there is no hope for change in
Israel, and we should not expect it or try to bring it about. It is
a waste of time and effort – Israelis are living in a parallel
universe, where normal legalities do not exist, and morality is
absent, where racism and apartheid are still ruling the day.
The change will come from us, from the enraged and caring
millions, angry with the duplicity of their own governments and
their collusion with Israeli crimes; the international community is
now realising it is up to all of us to do what many did during the
apartheid days – to isolate and ostracise and isolate this pariah
military and piratical regime, this State of Lunacy and lawlessness.
We will all need to stop any relationship with this entity of crime:
no products to be purchased, no touring in Israel, no conferences
there, no invites and collaboration with Israeli academics and
institutions who do not declare their unequivocal opposition to the
occupation and its iniquities. The resolution of this conflict will
only be reached by the annulling Zionism and its racism, its
military and ‘civil’ racist machineries, the total removal of all
settler communities, and the return of Palestinian refugees, as well
as the payment of full compensation to all those who were hurt by
the Zionist enterprise over the last few decades.
The way to achieve this is by the careful and thoughtful but
total BDS – Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions, that will lead to a
Just peace and a stable and long-lasting political order in
Palestine. Anything else will just lead to more murder, and to a
likely destabilizing of the region, and towards exporting militant
radicalism and possibly terrorism to all parts of the globe, as a
result of an obvious failure of the west to deal with this colonial
and imperialist abscess.
